Taco Bell’s new test menu is absolutely unhinged
Taco Bell has done it again. The fast-food giant has unveiled a new test menu that’s making fans lose their minds, and for all the right reasons. This latest rollout is setting the bar higher than a mountain of nachos. But don’t get too excited yet, because they are only available in select markets. Let’s talk more about this absolute game-changer!
Fajita Rolls and Chalupas Take Center Stage
This isn’t your average fast food fare. Taco Bell’s latest test menu introduces two game-changing items: the Fajita Rolled Quesadilla and the Fajita Street Chalupas. The first one is filled with marinated steak or slow-roasted chicken, fajita peppers, onions, and a creamy three-cheese blend. All of this is grilled to crispy perfection and priced at a modest $4.99.
Meanwhile, the Fajita Street Chalupas come with the same delicious fillings, served in Taco Bell’s signature cheesy chalupa shell. At $5.99, it’s an absolute steal for those who crave a little extra flavor in their meal.
Testing the Waters
Taco Bell loves to keep us on our toes. Instead of rolling these yummy dishes out nationwide, the fast-food chain is testing them in specific locations, like Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This means that some lucky fans get the exclusive chance to try out the new items before anyone else.
The rest of the country will have to wait, but the fast food chain’s strategy creates an exciting sense of exclusivity. For those living in the test markets, it’s a chance to get in on the ground floor of Taco Bell’s next big thing. Who wouldn’t want to be the one to say, “I tried that before it went nationwide?”
A Refreshing Return of Old Favorites
In addition to the new test items, Taco Bell has brought back a fan-favorite: the Cheesy Street Chalupa. After hearing requests from customers, the company decided to revive this cheesy delight for a limited time.
Taco Bell Fans Weigh In

Taco Bell fans on Reddit are having a field day with the new test menu items, and as usual, the feedback is all over the place. Some users are raving about the latest options, while others are more critical.
One user, realchooby, had a positive experience with the Chipotle ranch steak burrito, calling it “pretty damn good” and saying they would definitely get it again. That’s a solid endorsement for anyone on the fence about trying it.
On the flip side, a Redditor going by the username Kavorklestein wasn’t as thrilled with the Chipotle option, feeling it had potential but didn’t quite live up to expectations. They noted that the Taco Bell near them skimped on steak and sauces, with too much lettuce and filler. But, ever the optimist, they mentioned they might give it another shot during the early afternoon shift, as the portions tend to be better then.
The Road Ahead
While it’s still uncertain whether the Fajita Rolled Quesadilla and Fajita Street Chalupas will make their way to Taco Bell’s menus nationwide, the possibility is definitely there. If the feedback from test markets is positive, there’s a good chance these items will eventually show up in Taco Bell locations across the country.
For now, those in Milwaukee are the lucky ones who get to experience this wild new menu. For the rest of us, we can only hope that Taco Bell will bring these fiery fajitas to a location near us soon.
